Slot doesn't get called

[waynew]

This should be simple, but I don't see it.
Trying to emit a signal in the EditLog class to call a slot in the MainWindow.
No error, but the slot doesn't get called.

the EditLog.h entries:

signals:
    void logChanged();
 
private slots:
    void on_pbSave_clicked();
    void on_pbCancel_clicked();

signals:
    void logChanged();

private slots:
    void on_pbSave_clicked();
    void on_pbCancel_clicked();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

the EditLog cpp

void EditLog::on_pbSave_clicked()
{
// some code
emit logChanged();

void EditLog::on_pbSave_clicked()
{
// some code
emit logChanged();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

the MainWindow.h

public slots:
   void updateLogView();

public slots:
   void updateLogView();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

the MainWindow.cpp // updateLogView never gets executed

// in the constructor:
EditLog el;
    connect(&el, SIGNAL(logChanged()), this, SLOT(updateLogView()));
//
void MainWindow::updateLogView() {
       view->selectionModel()->clearSelection();
       model->select();
       view->resizeColumnsToContents();
       qDebug() << "edit model error is " << model->lastError();
}

// in the constructor:
EditLog el;
    connect(&el, SIGNAL(logChanged()), this, SLOT(updateLogView()));
//
void MainWindow::updateLogView() {
       view->selectionModel()->clearSelection();
       model->select();
       view->resizeColumnsToContents();
       qDebug() << "edit model error is " << model->lastError();
}

Any idea what I am missing?
